Well here we are Chapter 3. I haven't written a story in a long time! This has been my first real good inspiration for a while! I really like the idea of this story. I've been trying to work it right to that it doesn't go majorly OOC on any character. The D/Hr stuff has taken me some time but I think I captured the essence of Draco. I gotta say though I maybe over doing it with the many boyfriends of Hermione, but hey! That's what fan fiction's all about! Well enjoy and R+R!

I walk towards the train and look around. There she was, she was magnificent. A gorgeous body, beautiful features, a fiery tongue, and a sharp intellect. Hermione Granger, who else? I shake my head and smirk. Since the first time that I met her she'd become more and more beautiful every year. We would never be together, ever. We're too different, and yet still I am drawn to her. And I know deep down she is drawn to me. We never had what anyone would call a fairytale romance, but we do know of each other's feelings. I smile and remember back to last year, those many nights we met in the Astronomy tower, thinking nothing of who we were and where we were, but only of looking into each other's eyes, embracing, oh, and a whole lot of kissing. I try to hide a shade of pink on my cheeks when I remember her lips on mine. It was a love affair, she was there because her heart was broken, I was there because she was beautiful, and why would I turn down a beautiful girl willing to snog all night? But somewhere in between, I fell in love, and she found someone else. I know we'll never be, but I wish sometimes I could abandon who I am and sweep her off her feet. Someday maybe. I see her turn my direction and give her a small wink. She blushes and turns the other way. I smirk and enter the nearly full train.

I'm blushing furiously as I enter the train.

"Why do I care that Draco Malfoy was winking at me?"

I sigh and smile widely, getting weird looks from passer Byers. His soft lips to mine, and his gentle touch holding me all night.

" It was a great love" I say to myself " We'd never work out, I lost hope in that. But still, it was amazing while it lasted. I wonder if he still dreams about it."

My smile suddenly ends when I come to the car with my friends in it. I see them laughing with their significant others and my heart falls. I walk past the car, so as not to be seen and take a seat in the next empty car. They wouldn't mind if I didn't show. It would hurt my heart to watch anyway, to see my friends so in love, and seeing Ron with that girl…

"It makes me angry for some reason" I think looking out of the window " I don't know why."

"Yes you do" I think after a while " have you seen the new Ron? He's handsome, and smooth and seems so much more mature."
"Don't tell me I'm falling for him," I whisper to my reflection.

The car door slides open and Ron walks in smiling brightly

"Hey! Everyone's waiting for you! Come on!"
I smile weakly.

" Are you sure I won't be a bother?"
His smile fades

"Mione, what's wrong?"

"Nothing!" I say quickly, " I just didn't know if you guys wanted me around, you know 5 is an odd number."
He looks at me with a worry.

"Don't give me that face Ron," I scream in my head "I'll melt right here!"

"I can't believe you'd even think that" he says entwining his fingers " are you hurt because Harry and I have Ginny and Lisa? Because of what Dave did to you?"
I look down for a minute and think to back to this summer. I met Dave in March last year and quickly fell for him. He was a 7th year and I felt so in love, but just 2 weeks ago, he left me for an older woman. I tore me up inside. I felt horrible, I had left Draco to be with this guy and he leaves me.

"Guess that's what I get" I think and nod yes to Ron's question.

"That guy was a jerk Mione, don't worry, you'll find someone new"
I look into his soft caramel eyes.

"Thanks Ron" I say standing up " let's go"

He smiles and we walk to the car

"It might be you that's next Ron" I think fearfully to myself "please say it's not true."
